Outcomes, Triangulation and Gradebooks - OH MY!
Saturday November 9, 2024 9:15am - 10:15am MST
Cougar Room
We know that tests and traditional grading are not necessarily the most effective for assessing and reporting student learning, but how to make the transition from what we’ve always done to what we want to do? This session will share ideas and resources for tracking student progress, setting up an outcome based gradebook and reporting achievements in a way that meaningfully describes what students know and can do.
